Need some new ideas for online learning activities? Based on principles from The Blended Course Design Workbook: A Practical Guide this 2-hour interactive workshop will focus on creating effective online activities that are student-centered, engaging, and aligned with the face-to-face activities of the course. Participants will review their course goals and learning objectives, choose an online platform and/or tool for their activity, and leave the workshop with at least one online activity that they can immediately implement into their course.
